Two-year-old Nezharri Arrey ended up trapped under the SUV after it crashed into A Brighter Rainbow Learning Center at 862 Boston Road.

The woman had been driving north on Boston Road when she suffered a medical emergency, police said.

“When I got the phone call, I was so devastated,” said Karren Arrey, the little boy’s mother. “I didn’t know what to do.”

Nezharri was alert and conscious when emergency crews arrived and was taken to Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, where his parents learned just how close this accident came to a horrible tragedy.

“I didn’t know what to say, I was just in awe,” said Karren Arrey. Nezharri was just small enough to fit under the front end. Any bigger, he would have been crushed.

“He was really scared,” said Arthur Array, Nezharri’s uncle. “He didn’t even want to look at a car. He was really holding on to me really tight.”

Nezharri Arrey’s family is so grateful to the man who ran over and helped pull Nezharri out. The boy survived with but a few scrapes,

“I just want to say thank you,” Karren Arrey said. “Hopefully I can see him one day and give him all the praise, because this is my child.”

The family said their little soldier is already asking to go back to school, but there is no word on when the day care will reopen.
